Owner's Response: Thank you for being great guests and thank you for your great review, we appreciate it very much. Hope to host you again next time you wish to visit the island.

Beautiful view over the marina

Lovely place with great view over marina. Loved the balcony and the comfy outdoor setting. Very clean and modern. Had everything you need in the kitchen and a really cozy lounge. Close to the resort facilities but bit of a walk (30min) to the surf beach. It's a nice walk though so perfectly fine if you have enough time on the island to explore.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your great review Anne, much appreciated. We are happy that you agree the apartment has terrific views and a comfy outdoor setting, perfect for relaxing with a beverage. Yes, the beach is a fair way from the resort it's true. We will aim to have 4 bicycles there asap, as cycling is the way to go, only taking about 10 minutes. There is the resort 'train' available out to the beach, and the restaurant also, at selected times. Apologies that we didn't have bicycles available for your stay though. They will be available as soon as possible. Many thanks for choosing Starfish@Couran, and we hope you are able to stay again some time.
